I actually really like these wheels but I want something wider.

Need new tires like last week so I'm trying to decide if I put new rubber on these or try to scrape together enough cash for new wheels and tires. (which also means rear suspension work to fit a 10/10.5" wheel and 315 tire)

Either way I need more stick. The setup I have now is worthless.

[dubbsy]

upgrade?

Just some shitty pics in the harsh light this morning.

[dubbsy]

Now to work on my mullet.

It'll take a mini-tub or a lot of work with a hammer to fit a 335. I've got about 1/2" at best to play with towards the inside.

Now I just need some sticky tires. Trying to decide if I stick with a 26" tall tire and risk running out of RPM in 4th or go taller (and likely overboard)

I think I'm just going to buy everything that Bill has to sell and hope one of them makes the car fast.

hopefully he sells a driver at some point...

15" Draglites over 11.65" brakes I ask? Unpossible you say?

Spent the first day of the 2 day street legal trying to get these to fit (with the grinder) and couldn't do it. Ordered up some braided lines from Maximum motorsports which end up being considerably shorter (the line end is thinner and the fluid bolt is shorter) than the OEM stuff and it fits - barely.

[dubbsy]

So lets see.

Moroso 3" studs
Maximum Motorsports Panhard Bar
Maximum Motorsports HD Adjustable Lower Control Arms
BMR Driveshaft loop
Weld Draglites 15x10
Mickey Thompson ET Streets 26x11.5-15
Maximum Motorsports braided rear brake line kit (caliper and axle hoses)

Should be ready for racing tomorrow. Get some seat time before Muscle Car Shootout.

[XJHEAD]

Throw 270 lbs on the drivers seat and set the rear ride height so the lower control arm bolt holes are at the same height.

[dubbsy]

we'll see if I have time and ambition to do that tonight. I need to get some other work done if I'm going to be at the track all day tomorrow. Too bad they don't run Trophy elims first so I can get put on the trailer and come home at a decent time.

congrats on dipping into the 12s, but that things gotta have more than that in it. It doesnt even sound like you are shifting as high as you could be, also, have you tried slipping the clutch? You might be babying the car too, idk.

[dubbsy]

No sense in revving the motor any higher (that was shifting around 5500) at least until I get it on a dyno and find out there is still power up there - otherwise I'm going to guess the blower is out of steam by that time.

I'm going to stick with dumping it and hoping it hooks. That first video it came out of the hole fine. I think it was somewhere just over 4000RPM I dumped the clutch at. The second pass I apparently dropped the revs waiting for the lights to drop because it bogged out of the hole.

Unfortunately I have a hard time seeing my tach through the steering wheel so I'm trying to hit everything by ear and I've hardly driven this car since I bought it.

As for getting more out of it..
Want to try leaving closer to 4500RPM and see how it 60s - although after last weekend at Sabin I'm not too positive I'll be able to get that to stick there. Who knows, maybe the ET Streets just weren't 'broken in' yet.
